[Laser-scanning-tomography in clinical routine].

Scanning laser tomography using the Heidelberg Retina Tomograph (HRT) aims at a three-dimensional reconstruction of optic disk topography based on two-dimensional optical section images. Topometric parameters describe the optic disk configuration, algorithms calculate the likelihood of already existing glaucomatous tissue alterations. In the follow-up of chronic glaucoma, this imaging technique has become the gold standard for quantitative optic nerve head evaluation.
